We are getting closer to CSZ 2026, and are excited to announce that the trainee network mixer is back! Come enjoy some zoology-themed trivia and bingo while getting to know your fellow CSZ members in a casual setting! Looking forward to see you all in Ottawa!

In our new collaborative open-access @cp-cellreports.bsky.social paper, we built a telomere-to-telomere genome assembly pipeline (long + short reads) and applied it to nine Canadian #Borrelia burgdorferi strains from five regions. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

#Canada is #importing more than #pets — we’re importing #parasites. Read our last review on parasite importation risk. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... #OneHealth

Wildlife parasites are not just a wildlife issue — they are a #OneHealth issue. Read one of our last papers on #Trichinella in #bears journals.sagepub.com/doi/epdf/10.... #veterinary #parasites #zoonoses

It was a great pleasure to contribute to this very insightful discussion in #veterinary #parasitology #research and #OneHealth international-animalhealth.com/wp-content/u...

Very grateful to be spending time in the beautiful city of Antwerp. Parasitology brought me here, but the architecture, the food, and the warmth of the people have made the experience even more special. Many thanks to Professor #GuyCaljon for the invitation and for this wonderful opportunity.

Can I suggest the revival of an old fashioned principle among scholars? You don’t criticise what someone else has written unless you’ve read it?

New hope against antimony-resistant Leishmania! Our SbV-porphyrin hits 170× harder than standard drugs, targets ERG6 (absent in mammals), and cuts parasite load by 96% in mice. Proud of this global #TeamScience effort! Read more: doi.org/10.1016/j.bi... #DrugDiscovery #Leishmania #GlobalHealth

Thrilled to share our new collaborative work! Climate change could push L. shannoni — a sand fly linked to VSV and Leishmania — into the NE USA and Atlantic Canada. Using MaxEnt modeling, we mapped future risks for human and animal health. Check it out: rdcu.be/ejAGk #VectorBiology #OneHealth

J’ai récemment eu le plaisir de participer à l’épisode 42 : « Quand le coq et l’âne tirent les vers du nez d’un expert en parasitologie » linktr.ee/ducoqalane?u...

Yep. Rampant COVID Poses New Challenges in the Fifth Year of the Pandemic “We’re still in a pandemic,” says a lead COVID official with the World Health Organization www.scientificamerican.com/article/ramp...

“If disruptions continue we could see an additional 15 million cases of malaria and 107,000 deaths this year alone, reversing 15 years of progress,” The World Health Organization issue a stark warning about the global consequences of the U.S. rolling back public health funding:

Ça va être une journée remplie de belles discussions ! #AMR #zoonoses #OneHealth

Happy to share this collaborative work www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #ticks #LymeDisease

#Christmas games include #parasite diagnosis in cute #wildlife! Puzzling 🧐

Very excited for joining the scientific committee of the #OneHealth initiative of @umontreal.ca uneseulesante.umontreal.ca/accueil/

Explaining #physics to my toddler with the windshield frost. #winter is here!

Thrilled to share our latest collaborative research on Leishmania mexicana 🧫🔬🧬🧪Together, we revealed that distinct clones secrete unique extracellular vesicle populations with specific protein profiles and varying infectious capabilities 🐁 www.frontiersin.org/journals/cel...

Finishing 2024!

🐾✨ Projet Laurent : Une collaboration unique pour protéger les patients immunosupprimés face aux maladies zoonotiques. Une équipe intersectorielle : immunologistes, vétérinaires, cliniciens, sociologues, patients et bien plus. Ensemble, pour une approche « Une seule santé » 🌍 👉 www.projetlaurent.org

🎉 A huge success for the 1st #ProjetLaurent Symposium! 🌍 Together, we tackled critical challenges in #OneHealth, uniting science, innovation & compassion to ensure safe coexistence between humans & animals. 👏 Thanks to all partners 🚀 @umontreal.ca

Ready for our first symposium One Health, companion animals and immunosuppressed patients #ProjetLaurent at @umontreal.ca

Yikes. No surprise. Still, yikes! Online influencers need ‘urgent’ fact-checking training, warns Unesco theguardian.com/media/2024/n... "...two-thirds of content creators fail to check the accuracy of their material, making them and their followers vulnerable to misinformation." #ScienceUpFirst

Excited to share our latest work in metabolomics and AMR 🌟 We uncovered unique lipid compositions in EVs from drug-resistant Leishmania, shedding light on their role in survival and pathogenicity. Read more: www.mdpi.com/2218-1989/14... #Leishmania #DrugResistance #ExtracellularVesicles

🌟 Three of our lab students attended #CSPC2024! 🌟Thanks to #OHAP–Create and #NSERC for their continuous support!

Research funded by NIH generated $2.46 in economic activity for every $1 of funding in 2023 [a total of $92.9 billion] www.fiercebiotech.com/research/rep...

Fanstastic opportunity for undergraduates in low and middle income countries. A fully funded 3 month internship at Sanger. Get in touch if interested! www.sanger.ac.uk/about/the-sa...

Setting limits can also concern what you don't say or do. For example, not replying to an e-mail at the weekend means you don't work at the weekend. On the contrary, replying to e-mails during this period opens the door to people wanting to contact you during this time.

🌍🦠 It’s #AMRAwarenessWeek! Our lab is tackling antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Leishmania parasites, uncovering how they evade treatments. Using multi-omics and collaborative research, we aim to fight drug resistance and protect leishmaniasis patients worldwide. #AMR #OneHealth

Excited to reconnect with all the amazing people I used to chat with in the 'dead bird nest.' Let’s pick up where common sense left off!

I’ll be sharing insights and stories about culture, science, and social issues in English, Français, and Español. 🧪📚🌎 Let's explore diverse perspectives and spark meaningful conversations together! Follow along and feel free to reach out—collaborations and exchanges are always welcome. 🚀💬
